Like me, you've probably owned several PCP compressors if you have been using PCP guns for very long. They range from cheap and total junk to expensive and (sometimes) still junk. They tend to have a high failure rate. SO FAR...and after only about 2 weeks of use I am very happy with this little guy. It IS small. For something that can reach a crazy 7000 psi shouldn't it be larger? It seems the answer is no. This little guy emits about the same volume of air as my other compressors. It filled a 6.8 liter tank from 0 psi to 6000 psi in about 3 hours. I would run the compressor for a max of 20 minutes, let it cool, and restart. After 20 minutes it never got hot. I don't think the temp ever went above 125 degrees F. In spite of the size it is LOUD! I put it in a bathroom and shut 2 solid wood door behind it and it still makes a racket. This little guy is seemingly well made. For the price, it should be but it definitely seems to be a serious quality step above most other Chinesium compressors. Will it fill to 7000 psi? It seems it will. To be frank, it scares the **** out of me filling a big bottle to 6000 psi! I believe I read somewhere that this compressor is capable (but software limited) to 9000 psi. I am using this to fill my bigger 3 and 6.8L tanks as well as the shotgun style cartridges for my AEA Harpoon guns. They require 5000 psi. So, in closing...will this little guy get the job done? Definitely YES! Will it last 2 years? That question I cannot answer....yet!

I'm VERY impressed! Filled all my rifles AND my 6.8L tank with no problems whatsoever! Never got too hot, easy as falling off a log to use and, IMHO, the best money I've spent on a portable compressor! I highly recommend it to anyone with PCP guns!
Hi Donald, we're thrilled to hear you're impressed with the AEA 480 BAR/7000 PSI Air Compressor! Thanks for recommending it to fellow PCP enthusiasts. Happy shooting!
It works as intended, although I have only had to go to 4500. I want the 7000 psi hunting M50, and will update when I do.
The fans are loud! I leave the room and shut the door when in use.
